  Flatten the chicken using a heavy bottomed pan.
• Step 2
  Add a slice of cheese and ham on top of the chicken breast. Cut off anything that overhangs.
• Step 3
  Optional: Pass the blue cord in the flour if you have any. (This will make the meat more tender when cooking)

• Step 8
  After 10 minutes have passed, turn down the heat, cover the pan and cook the cordon bleus for 10 extra min.
• Step 9
  Mash the potatoes using a fork, adding a bit of butter or olive oil, some milk and salt and pepper.
• Step 10
  Serve the mashed potatoes with the cordon bleus. Season and serve!
